Quotes
-
Gale Weathers-Riley : OK, but can I just have one final word?
Jill Roberts : What? "Please"?
Gale Weathers-Riley : No. Clear.
Jill Roberts : Clear?
Sidney Prescott : [Sidney is holding a defibrillator to Jill's head] Clear.
[Zaps Jill]

Gale Weathers-Riley : [to Deputy Judy Hicks] Oh, and by the way, your lemon squares taste like ass.
-
Gale Weathers-Riley : Okay, listen to me Judy. I don't mind that you're working with my husband, or that you even bake him those little treats. That you do. But if you're going to start acting like him you better put a moustache on, because you sound ridiculous.

[from trailer]
Gale Weathers-Riley : Dewey, what's going on?
Sheriff Dewey Riley : That is not public information.
Gale Weathers-Riley : It's all over the Internet!
Sheriff Dewey Riley : [surprised] It is?
-
Gale Weathers-Riley : So where is this circle jerk going to take place?
-
Sidney Prescott : This... you film your entire high school experience and what, post it on the 'net?
Robbie : Everybody will be doing it some day.
Charlie Walker : It's kind of the one component the killer is missing.
Gale Weathers-Riley : Wait, what do you mean?
Charlie Walker : Well, if you wanna be the new, new version, the killer should be filming the murders.
Robbie : Yeah, it's like the natural next step in the psycho-slasher innovation. I mean you film them all real-time and before you get caught, you upload them into cyberspace.
Charlie Walker : Making your art as immortal as you.
Charlie Walker : [speaking same time as Robbie] Not to implicate him.
Robbie : [speaking same time as Charlie] Not to implicate me.
Sidney Prescott : So who do you think is doing the murders.
Charlie Walker : Well, it's a Stab fanatic clearly. Working on less of a Shrequel and more of a Screamake.
Robbie : Copyright terms, by the way.
Charlie Walker : Cause all there are now are remakes. Only horror studios green-light. I mean, there are still rules, but the rules have changed. The unexpected is the new cliche.
Robbie : Yeah, you gotta have an opening sequence, that blows the doors off, gallop some music video direction and the kill's gotta be way more extreme.
Charlie Walker : Modern audiences get sappy to the rules of the original. So, the reverse has become the new standard. In fact, the only sure-fire way to survive a modern horror movie, you pretty much gotta be gay.
[pause]
Gale Weathers-Riley : So, why are you so sure that the killer is working by the rules of a horror remake?
Robbie : Well, the original Stab structure is pretty apparent.
Charlie Walker : Yeah, two kids killed in a house when their parents are away?
Robbie : And, then the school's 'hot chick' savage beyond recognition.
Charlie Walker : We all know where it goes from there...?
Sidney Prescott : A party.
Charlie Walker : Exactly. A party. Guaranteed third-act-main-cast bloodbath.
Robbie : Fingers crossed on some nudity for a change.

Gale Weathers-Riley : Go ahead if you have the guts!

Gale Weathers-Riley : How meta can you get?
Sheriff Dewey Riley : How *what-a* can you get?
Gale Weathers-Riley : I don't know, I heard them say it.
-
Gale Weathers-Riley : Promise me something?
Sheriff Dewey Riley : Anything.
Gale Weathers-Riley : Catch that motherfucker.
